The Lamp burns sure — within –
Tho’ Serfs — supply the Oil –
It matters not the busy Wick –
At her phosphoric toil!
The Slave — forgets — to fill –
The Lamp — burns golden — on –
Unconscious that the oil is out –
As that the Slave — is gone.

Another problem comes –
Larger than mine — Serener –
Involving statelier sums.
I check my busy pencil,
My figures file away.
Wherefore, my baffled fingers
They perplexity?
